Food Coloring Disaster!

Today while working on tinting some buttercream, I realized I had a jar of gel missing. I just couldn't find it anywhere, and it was (of course) the color I needed. No problem though...I mixed other colors and came up with an ok result. During this whole stint, my little guy was in the next room playing with the dog, or so I thought. I could see them both crawling around under the table "playing"...but it wasn't until he toddled towards me that I actually saw the mischief that was going down...

That's what I get for thinking I could finish a cake during a nap. It never works! Someday I'll learn to push pause on what I'm doing once he's up. It was so close to being done though!

That is just waaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy too funny!!! At least it was something that wouldn't hurt them and you have a sense of humor about it! I'm sure that these two guys have many more surprises in the future for you - and I can't wait to hear about them.Just reading this lightened my day and gets me off to a good start. Thanks for sharing.

Awww, they are both so cute and with blue being my favorite color, I have to say they both have good taste! Kind of reminds me of a couple weeks ago when I got my new airbrush, only it was me that looked like that. HA!

OMG I had to respond to this post! Last year, my schnauzer got the SAME color from a basket I left sitting on a kitchen chair; I realized he was playing with something but thought it was one of his toys. Long story short, after I shampooed him AND the floor, rug, etc., I took him for a walk that afternoon. When he did his business, LOL, it was BRIGHT BLUE! No kidding; looked like candy. We laughed all the way home....

Must be something with blue - I made two batches of icing last night, white and royal blue. Before I knew it, I looked at the BF and said "I am turning into a smurf!!!" The color had gotten onto the mixer and I didnt know it. My hands, shirt, everything was a hint of blue - luckily it comes out nicely in the wash. And this was after I let a bag of powdered sugar get away from me. Nice snowy kitchen cabinet and floor!

I can totally relate. Last night I was coloring some gumpaste for a birthday cake for my sister and my 9yr decides that he wants to experiment with making colors with my new box of americolor gels. I turned to him and said "Do you know how much this cost" and he says "Mom, it's all in the name of science". I couldn't argue with that so after rescuing my new gels, I gave him the old mccormick tubes red, blue, yellow and green) and he continued to experiment. Final outcome- he colored his lil brother's leftover dinner- chicken, yellow rice and broccoli- What a mess! LOL

OMG! You gotta laugh. Kids say and do the funniest things. I made my granddaughter chicken nuggets the other night, and she informed me she couldn't eat her chicken nuggets without bar-ga-doo sauce. I love stuff like this.

hey, I can relate. my son has a bishon frise and she is white as the pure snow/ that is until I lay my colors down on a pretty high table to go check on my dad. she walks on her hind legs around to see what she can get. she has been purple, green, orange and she looks pretty good in pink. the groomers thinks this is very funny. every time i make her an appointment to be groomed, they want to know what color is wearing today.

oh dear, this is hysterical. I think I might have to arrange both of those pictures side by side in a two-matted picture frame and hang it proudly, just for the funny factor. I feel your pain and trying to do anything within a nap time frame. Thanks for sharing this story and pics, it's really cute.
